An Ordination From Newfoundland

Greetings Folks,

Here is a picture of most of the Fillier Clan at St. James United Church in St. John’s Newfoundland. Rev. Victoria Fillier, who is my sister-in-law, is missing from the picture of me, my dad, and my brother Bob.

The second picture is of Lorna and her family, including her mother Hilda Griffin and her father, Ron Griffin. The green stole is a wonderful gift from my home congregation at St. James United.

It was an incredible service for Newfoundland East District’s final worship service, packed with folks I had not seen in ages and some I had never seen at all who traveled quite a ways to be with us for the occasion.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers during this journey, and keep us in mind as we prepare to travel to Louisbourg, Cape Breton, for July 1st! As for Lorna and I, we’re off with Rev. Trent to Maritime Conference in Sackville this weekend for the ordination service. Many of my classmates are being ordained, and we’ll send along our greetings and prayers for their ministry as well.
